Over\/Under: 201.5<\/strong><\/p>\nAfter topping Memphis 103-93 on Monday, Portland (36-27, 35-27-1 ATS) has won four of its last five games both straight up and against the spread. The Blazers have been solid on NBA odds in recent weeks, going 6-4 against the spread in their last 10 outings. The Rose Garden hasn\u2019t been as kind to the Blazers as one might hope; the team is 1-4 against the spread in its last five games in Portland. <\/p>\n
The recent winning streak can largely be attributed to a rolling offense. Portland is averaging 105.4 points per game in its last five games, and it hasn\u2019t all been Brandon Roy. LaMarcus Aldridge continues playing well and busted out a 32-point, seven-rebound effort against the Bulls. Nicholas Batum, who\u2019s averaging just 23 minutes per game on the year, exploded for 31 points and seven boards two games ago against Minnesota. He followed that up with another 21 in Monday\u2019s win over the Grizzlies. Of course, Roy remains the star of the team and the offense\u2019s main catalyst. <\/p>\n
Indiana (20-40, 26-33-1 ATS) is headed in the opposite direction. Tuesday\u2019s crushing 122-99 loss to the Lakers was the team\u2019s fourth defeat in five games, not to mention just two wins in the past 10 games. The Pacers have been only slightly more reliable against the spread, going 4-5-1 in their past 10 games. Not surprisingly, Indiana has struggled to get the job done on the road, covering just two of its last seven games against NBA odds. ![\"Online](\"http:\/\/affiliates.commissionaccount.com\/processing\/impressions.asp?btag=a_3953b_41\")
<\/p>\n
Defensively, the Pacers are a train wreck. They\u2019re allowing 104.3 points per game, good for 24th in the NBA, and have surrendered an inexcusable 114 per game in their past three losses. At the other end of the floor, Indiana doesn\u2019t have the talent to counteract its shortcomings on \u201cD.\u201d Danny Granger (22.7 points, 5.8 rebounds per game) is the team\u2019s best player but he can\u2019t do it alone. He was severely limited in the Lakers loss, scoring just nine points on 2-9 shooting. <\/p>\n
Portland and Indiana met in early December, with the Blazers earning a 102-91 victory. Roy was naturally brilliant, scoring 29 points. The Trailblazers have won three straight against Indiana while covering the past two.<\/p>\n
Pacers vs. Trail Blazers Free PICK<\/strong><\/p>\nIndiana is playing some of its worst basketball of the season right now. Hitting the road against a team firing on all cylinders? The Pacers don\u2019t have a hope, especially with their lacklustre \u201cD\u201d trying to slow down Roy and Co. <\/p>\n
